Bishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv. looks on as Father Pablo Migone snuffs one of the seven candles on the altar during the Tenebrae Service April 11 at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Savannah. During Tenebrae, which means shadows in Latin, each of the candles are gradually extinguished—a reference to Christ’s death—amid a backdrop of psalm, chant and scripture. Photograph by Michael J.
